Abstract | Electrical energy consumption is negatively affecting our environment and contributing to climate change. Therefore the research and industrial communities are working hard to minimize energy consumption using promising energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies. We know that it is possible to convert heat energy into electrical energy using thermoelectric devices; this heat energy can be from the sun or from an electro-mechanical device. However, thermoelectric devices traditionally suffer from lower efficiencies of energy conversion. This book, Advanced Thermoelectric Materials for Energy Harvesting Applications, is a researchintensive textbook consisting of eight chapters organized into three sections. Section 1 consists of Chapters 2, 3, and 4, which cover advanced thermoelectric materials and the topics of organic/inorganic thermoelectric materials, quantum theory of the Seebeck coefficient for the advancement of thermoelectric superconducting material, and the limits of Bismuth Telluride-based thermoelectric materials. Section 2, containing Chapters 5 and 6, evaluates behaviors and performance of |
